Comparison of peripheral iridectomy methods for posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation in patients with brown irides

Comparison of peripheral iridectomy methods for posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation in patients with brown irides

BACKGROUND We explore and compare the advantages and disadvantages of different operating methods for a peripheral iridectomy (PI) for phakic posterior chamber implantable contact lens (ICL) implantation in patients with dark-brown irides. METHODS Forty-six patients completed this prospective comparative study. Neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) PI was performed in 15 patients (30 ey...

Posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation for high myopia.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety and stability of posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens (PIOLs) implantation for the correction of high myopia. METHODS Thirty-nine eyes of twenty patients with high myopia (between -11.75 and -25.75 diopters) had a posterior chamber PIOL (Staar ICL) implanted. During 6 - 48 months' follow-up, visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP),...

Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation

Refractive Outcomes of Posterior Chamber Phakic Intraocular Lens Implantation for Correction of Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism

OBJECTIVES The aim was to examine efficacy and safety after Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) implantation for correction of myopia et myopic astigmatism. METHODS This prospective clinical study included 28 eyes of 16 patients which underwent implantation of ICL for correction of myopia up to -18,00 diopters (D) and myopic astigmatism up to -6,00 D in the Eye Clinic Svjetlost Sarajevo, from Jan...

Intrastromal corneal ring segments and posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation for keratoconus correction.

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and predictability of sequential implantation of Keraring intrastromal corneal ring segments (ICRS) and an Implantable Collamer Lens phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) with corneal relaxing incisions for refractive correction of keratoconus. SETTING Fernández-Vega Ophthalmological Institute, Oviedo, Spain. DESIGN Cohort study. METHODS This study compr...
